    copy text from one cell in sheet1 to sheet2

    I have 2 sheets. When I type a name (persons name) in a cell on shee1, I want it to be mirrored in sheet2. I know how to make that happen with a reference but if I don't have a name on sheet1, sheet2 shows a "0". I would like the cell in sheet2 to just be blank.

    Its probably an "if" statement??? or simply text formatting?

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    =IF(Sheet1!A1<>"",Sheet1!A1,"")
    maybe this works

    I tested it and it works, just paste it into any cell in Sheet2 and it will show the value from Sheet1!A1
    And of course you can replace A1 with the desired cell.

    sheet1 is named Approved and sheet2 is named Totals, I changed the names but no luck?

    It's putting the formula in there and not the name?

    Re: copy text from one cell in sheet1 to sheet2

    You can also add the cell reference if you select the "Sheet1!A1" part of the formula(while the formula is inside a cell) and then go and select the sheet and the cell that you are interested in.
    or try
    =IF(Approved!A1<>"",Approved!A1,"")
